This works very straightfoward; create set of symbolic links of *.el / *.elc
files under ${BUILDLINK_DIR}/share/emacs. At configure and build stage,
emacs / xemacs binaries run with the EMACSLOADPATH pointed to there. This
should work because those EmacsLisp packages assume the Emacs / XEmacs program
running at build time and that running after installation are identical and
the task looking for other *.el / *.elc files is Emacs / XEmacs's business.
I have tested only Emacs 21 and Emacs 22. XEmacs should work ... at least
XEmacs supports EMACSLOADPATH too if grep worked correctly.
While here change the following:
* Provide {FOR,NOTFOR}_emacs_{x,nox} switches to be used in PLIST.
* Add the xemacs214nox entry.
* Clean up "leim" handling code; avoid .if ... .endif as far as possible.
But actually, the default didn't change because EMACS_TYPE is set to
emacs21 in pkgsrc/mk/defaults/mk.conf.
I will clean up all Emacs Lisp packages to be emacs22-capable, then change
the default.
modules that is required by the package. The allowed modules are
"base" and "leim". EMACS_USE_LEIM is deprecated and should be replaced
with EMACS_MODULES+=leim.
that is a purely user-settable variable to represent the relative
path under ${PREFIX} where info files are stored and "dir" files
are managed. PKGINFODIR defaults to "info". INFO_DIR still works,
but will be obsoleted after the 2006Q1 branch.
* Modify GNU_CONFIGURE_INFODIR to only honor ${PKGINFODIR} if the
package installs directly into ${PREFIX} and not some subdirectory
under ${PREFIX}. This fixes packages that don't really honor
$(infodir) all that well, and also avoids PLIST problems relating
to directory removal for those packages.
* Since the majority of Emacs Lisp packages use GNU_CONFIGURE, just
set GNU_CONFIGURE_INFODIR directly to ${EMACS_INFOPREFIX}, which is
the Emacs-distro-specific location for info files. Also pass
EMACS_INFOPREFIX through PLIST_SUBST for PLIST substitution.
* INFO_FILES should be defined if the package installs info files.
If the info files are not listed in the PLIST, then INFO_FILES
must list the filenames for the info files installed by the package,
which are assumed to be located in ${PREFIX}/${PKGINFODIR}.
* The plist module can now better detect info files listed in PLISTs
and exports a command to the pkginstall module to append info file
names to the +INFO_FILES scriptlet at install-time.
* The print-PLIST target is updated to properly list info files in
the auto-generated PLIST.
* The check-files code is updated to skip all "dir" Info database files.
1) Simplify the way how an emacs version is picked when no emacs
is installed, but a user try to install an Emacs Lisp package.
Just pick up the version set as EMACS_TYPE than searching for
versions already installed etc. If the EMACS_TYPE version is
not supported by the Emacs Lisp Package, just fail. EMACS_TYPE
be default to GNU Emacs 21.
(In other words, users should set EMACS_TYPE as they want.
Otherwise GNU Emacs 21 is used.)
2) All Emacs Lisp Packages *must* prepend EMACS_PKGNAME_PREFIX to
a) the PKGNAME itself, and b) PKGNAME in its dependency lines.
EMACS_PKGNAME_PREFIX is expanded to "xemacs-" when XEmacs is
used. This keeps dependency graph of Emacs-Lisp-packages-
installed-for-XEmacs consistent.
3) Document EMACS_* variables as much as possible.
4) Provide more cookies for PLIST. Maybe utilized later.
Note that the 2) change doesn't affect the default, GNU Emacs 21
behaviour. So no version / revision bumps in this commit.
(not xemacs-${PKGNAME}-${VERSION}) for all packages using this and not explicitly
setting PKGNAME>
A better way of doing this should be found, but this fixes builds.
can stop builds when a dependency is broken, yet continue builds
when a dependency is merely skipped (usually because it duplicates
functionality in the base system). Thus IGNORE_FAIL, the
oft-misunderstood and naught-documented option, goes away.
This addresses many people's complaints on tech-pkg@ and other
lists, as well as PR pkg/18157.
2. New variable PKGNAME_PREFIX, which is either null string or xemacs-
depending on EMACS_FLAVOR. Intended to use like:
DEPENDS+= ${PKGNAME_PREFIX}apel>=10.4:../../devel/apel
BUILD_DEPENDS+= ${PKGNAME_PREFIX}apel>=10.4:../../devel/apel
